This might not sound like much, until we understand that it has been theorised that the way in which they do so is similar to how spacetime manipulates light in general relativity.

My paper has quantum theory in mind in relation to relativity, mass and gravity.
Assuming this principle (without proving it) allowed Einstein to develop the general theory of relativity in 1916, and to describe gravity in purely geometric terms.
FORBES: Physicists Seek A Divorce: Prying Gravity ... From Inertia
Having two candidates for a theory of everything is almost as upsetting to physicists as their inability to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity in the first place.
Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity in 1916, offering a description of gravity, space and time that transformed how scientists understand the physical laws governing the known universe.
WSJ: Researchers Spent $750 million��and 52 Years��Affirming Theory of Relativity
The gravitational field between the two black holes was so strong that it had never been possible to test Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity in such an extreme situation.
This lack of production meant wages delivered relativity little in the way of purchasing power.
Although Riemann, who died at the age of only 39, also laid the foundations in geometry for Einstein's general theory of relativity, his paper on prime sattracted little attention in the decades after it was first published.
Another example is in the special theory of relativity which denies all absolutes and meanings of truth.

For now it seems, general relativity is not in any real danger.
FORBES: Physicists Seek A Divorce: Prying Gravity ... From Inertia
After all, Einstein, in his special theory of relativity, had shown that time slows down for objects moving close to the speed of light.
In any case, general relativity directly contradicts quantum mechanics, the other great physical theory of the 20th century, so more and more precise tests need to be carried out to find out what cracks might exist in either theory.
In that case, though, physicists will have gained a better understanding of how the predictions of general relativity mesh with Newtonian gravity in the case of galaxies.
In many ways this is why Relativity is looking to television to extend the value of its movies.
FORBES: Why Ryan Kavanaugh Is Now The Most-Watched Man In Hollywood
He introduced his famous "Theory of Relativity" during his time in the city.
Together, they developed Dr Ashtekar's idea to show that it implies that space and time are not smooth, as general relativity requires, but come in tiny, distinct chunks.
An anomaly in the orbit of Mercury provided one of the first clues that the laws of gravity as described by Newton were incomplete, which, in turn, led Einstein to general relativity.
In 1905, Albert Einstein's theory of relativity showed that there is no such thing as absolute time.
Roger Penrose, for example, has long been on record as arguing that it is quantum mechanics, not general relativity, that needs to be modified in order to successfully develop a grand unified theory.
FORBES: Physicists Seek A Divorce: Prying Gravity ... From Inertia
When I was asked in 1988 by Science to write about economics fiscal relativity problem I was struck that the hard scientists could get this point so quickly and that so many economists could not.
Einstein predicted the distortion of light in this way in 1915, as part of his general theory of relativity.
One of his great achievements since then, together with mathematician Roger Penrose, has been to prove that Einstein's General Theory of Relativity means space and time has a beginning in the "Big Bang" and ends in black holes.
It may, as John Learned of the University of Hawaii (another of the team's leaders) suspects, merely show how to extend the current theory in the same way that Einstein's discovery of relativity improved upon, but did not invalidate, Isaac Newton's mechanics.
Einstein's general theory of relativity states that objects with mass cause a curvature in space-time, which we perceive as gravity.
That process: unlike his larger studio rivals, his company has output deals in 110 countries, and each has to take every movie Relativity makes.

We know that the general theory of relativity is compatible with the existence of space-times in which travel to the past or remote future is possible.
In the corner a giant mounted television scrolls a live Twitter feed about Relativity movies as well as a graphical breakdown by gender, age and location of who is saying what.
FORBES: Why Ryan Kavanaugh Is Now The Most-Watched Man In Hollywood
The SKA will join the hunt for gravitational waves ripples in the structure of space predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
At the time Einstein proposed his Theory of General Relativity, it had not been observationally established that the universe was in a state of expansion.
